Heffner Once Nursed
By Famous Poet
The more one talks with Kutli Heff
ner, G. 11. S. senior, the more one
learns of her startling career. Ke-
cently it was discovered that in her
babyhood she was an intimate friend
of Carl Sandburg, who lived next door
to the Heffners in Arizona. In fact,
he quite frequently attended her as
a nurse maid because of his appre
hension for her safety.
His fear was that Euth would fall
into the fire, so he spent his time in
the Heffner home liolding on to her.
Imagine that! The author of “Chicago”
tightly clutc-hing the skirts of one
Senior High's best students!

the ein! of a scarf, but to him it syiii-
liolized the hleals of knlglilIioihI.
"So to ns, fin; i-Iass of 1P;»S, these
knots of ribbon -gold and blue, lairjjJe-
and gold-- symbolize the liigli idetils of
Greensboro High scliool.
"While llu'y stand often for dis-
coiiragemeiii, tliey also stand for hard
\i'ork that Jead.s to achievement; for
iin.('lfisli devotion to duty; for love of
wisdom: for friendships that endure
front youth to ag('.
"Tliey stiuid for something greater
and finer Diaii any of us—for the best
that is ill all of us.
"'J’ake them, class of 11)41, and hold
